dealer 6 upcard somehow never busts anymore

Lately I've just about lost faith in the old "dealer 6 is a bust card" logic. Used to feel safe standing on a weak hand if they showed a 6, but the past month it's like they're always pulling out the perfect card to save themselves. I know…

does sitting out hands in live blackjack make casinos review bonus play

blackjack wagering dropped after i switched from $5 hands to table minimum

I always figured sticking to lower table minimums for blackjack would let me play longer on the same bankroll, but lately it seems like my total wagering has actually dropped compared to when I was playing $5 hands regularly. I switched to…

Side bet max tiny?

Noticed this too, feels like most tables cap the side bets at way lower limits than the main bets. I get it with things like perfect pairs or 21+3, since they gotta protect themselves from the rare big hits, but sometimes the max is so tiny…

leovegas live blackjack disconnected right after i hit 20 and support says no refund.

dealer blackjack streak

Was playing a low-key crypto blackjack table last night and the dealer went on one of those almost comical hot streaks. I know everyone loves to blame "rigged" or claim the deck's stacked, but realistically we all know variance is just goin…

Had a really straightforward blackjack session, mostly flat betting, nothing fancy with the play or bet sizes. Took the balance up a bit and decided to cash out, thinking this was as standard as it gets. Now the casino hits me up saying my…

caesars blackjack replay link shows wrong round id for my biggest hand.

Weirdest thing happened - went to review my last blackjack run and the replay link for the hand where I doubled up bigtime is pointing to the wrong round ID. Instead of showing my monster 20 vs dealer 5, it takes me to some boring push from…

just noticed something weird at the tables last night - swear i sat down at a blackjack game showing h17, played a few hands, took a bathroom break, came back after a refresh, now it’s s17. maybe i’m just tired but i’m pretty sure it switch…

Split then double?

anyone else getting that annoying insurance popup lag when the dealer shows an ace? lately it slows the whole game for me, ruins the rhythm and i can't tell if it's just my connection or the actual software. i know some folks use the insura…
